JESS HAS DESIGNS ON FASHION

- JONATHON MORAN

WHEN it comes to swimwear, Jessica Gomes is an expert at wearing it.

Now the top Aussie model, who has appeared in no fewer than eight Sports Illustrate­d Swimsuit Issues, is putting those skills to work as a designer.

“I love fashion and I love swimwear and I love doing creative projects, so it would be really cool to see where this goes in the future,” Gomes said of collaborat­ing with swim label bond-eye.

“I would love to do more designing, it is really fun.

“Especially at this time, I feel like for me doing these types of projects really inspires me and I feel fulfilled in being able to work with different creatives versus being in front of the camera and modelling someone else’s brand.

“It is nice to have my own input. I love being creative … it makes me happy.”

Gomes, 35, worked on the eight-piece capsule collection with the brand that was inspired by “80s street style and the freespirit­ed Australian summer”.

Having a go at design is just another feather in the cap for Gomes, who has also appeared in a number of Hollywood films and would like to pursue more acting work.
